Water
GERF is commited to protecting, conserving and promoting the sustainable use of water resources and infrastructures across Tanzania. Our work focuses on key areas such as the conservation, rehabilitation and protection of water sources- including rivers, streams and wetlands.
We believe that healthy water systems are essential for both people and the environment. That's why we work closely with local communities living near forests,dams and rivers. By offering practical solutions and alternative livelihood options, we help reduce water pollution and prevent the destruction of natural ecosystems.
OUR ACHIEVEMENTS:
Equipping Mkenge Primary School with Clean Water Tanks
To improve access to clean water , GERF supported Mkenge Primary School by installing 2 water tanks both 2000liters each. The school is located 2 kilometres from the nearest water catchment area, ,making it difficult for students to access safe water. These tanks now provide a reliable and healthy water source for over 400 students, helping to improve their hygiene, health and overall learning environment.
GERF also plays an active role in addressing the causes and impacts of climate change especially those that lead to water scarcity in rural and urban areas. Through our initiatives, we aim to build climate resilience, raise awareness and ensure that water remains available and clean for future generations.
